I bought an Asus Lion Square compatible with a AMD Athlon II X3 435 Socket AM3 processor?

I know strictly speaking, the Lion Square specifies AM2 but I'm a little confused since AM2 and AM3 are suppose to be socket compatible (I'm a little confused here as well but I assume it means an AM3 board will support AM2/AM2+ CPUs).

However, will there be a problem with chip height and spacing? Or do people have experience asking ASUS for a standoff adapter?
